I am having problems with flame out. I notice in some of the threads folks mentioning remote alarms ... I could sure use something like this. Where can I find one?

well I answered my own question ... did what I should have done in the first place ... did a search using "find" and got the name ... Maverick ET-73 remote thermomter ... found one on Amazona and ordered it!
This info may be a bit late for you but there is an updated Maverick which has better wireless range, it's the ET-732.
Order the ET-732 & return the ET-73 when it arrives IMHO.
I agree 110% with Trucky and Joe.
I agree with the mavericks as well but if you have a iphone or ipad. the I grill is a good wireless Bluetooth temp probe as well for alarm monitoring etc.
Of course a stoker
I will say this, since Cookshack changed out my control unit I havent had a flameout or wild temp swings.
I've had one flameout but it was because I left the pellet lid open to foil some butts and forgot to close it for about 15 mins. At a contest of course.

If Stuart is at the contest, ask him how to bypass the lid sensor and you won't have that issue
Hope to see you Friday night.
Of course... here is the requsite... "flame out" post...
Check your fire pot... if it's cast iron... contact Cookshack and get a stainless steel firepot... That fixes many flame out problems (but wont fix Davids! I did the same thing at Sams this year on ribs!)

I was trying to over think the issue and not spike the temp by the unit augering pellets while the door was open.
I learned that being lazy would create more work....

Yep, I find it easier to just dump some heat as it gets close to set temp, besides I have a bad memory and don't trust myself on closing the pellet lid.
